...when having mining drills in hand. Or in other words having the effect of energy poles just for mining drills.
This would be especially useful when using mods that extend the area.

Greetings Loewchen

It does it for roboports too when holding pretty much any logistic item that can connect to the roboport grid.

Not a bad idea.

I second this idea. This would come in handy when we have other kinds of mining equipment with larger area of effect, such as veicle/robot based mining are available.

In fact every item having an area of effect should show the aforementioned area of effect the way roboports, power poles, poison capsules, ... do when the same item type is held on hand (mining drills, turrets, power poles, ...)
